I imagine it has changed, but 10-ish years ago I recall having a cheap VoIP account that just let me enter whatever phone number I wanted as the caller ID.

- p_l 3y agoIt's very much a "honor system". If VoIP provider doesn't do due diligence, the other networks can't really check the value, especially since number porting became norm
- MichaelZuo 3y agoFor the first few dozen times sure, but after the hundredth or so report of a scam call associated with a spoofed number, the VoIP provider should be blocked by the telco. That is if they were allowed to do so.
- p_l 3y ago"should" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that statement :)
